Parent Volunteering

Floreat SLSC relies on volunteers to keep Nippers affordable. We ask all families to get involved during the season.

Volunteering can include roles such as Age Group Manager, Coach, Water Safety, Beach Set-up, Canteen, Admin or First Aid. Each Age Group is rostered around twice a season for beach set-up/pack-up and canteen duty. Your Age Group Manager will let you know when and how you can help.

To meet the required water safety ratios, the club encourages parents to volunteer as Water Safety. At a minimum, volunteers must hold the Nipper Rescue Certificate (NRC). In addition, a set number of Water Safety volunteers must also hold the higher Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) qualification. Early in the season, the club offers training for NRC, SRC and Bronze Medallion to support parents wishing to get qualified.
